Silpada is a jewelry company that specializes in sterling silver jewelry. It is run by two women who source their jewelry from artisans all over the world.
There are many benefits to becoming a Silpada Jewelry consultant. Some of these include earning free jewelry, trips, and prizes. A consultant will also make commissions on sales which is a great incentive to push the product.
The answer is no, they are two different companies. Although the jewelry collections may look similar in terms of a contemporary style with a little edge, Silpada jewelry is made with sterling silver and Chico's jewelry is made of pewter which keeps its price point generally lower.
Silpada is a popular brand for handmade silver jewelry. They use .925 sterling silver. Silpada also offers a lifetime guarantee on their jewelry. Their designs can be bought online or you can host a party to sell to your friends.
It is the nickel in some silver jewelry that reacts with your body chemistry to turn your skin and the jewelry black. .925 Sterling Silver, such as that offered by Tiffany and Silpada, contains no nickel. .925 sterling silver is 92.5 pure silver, with only 6.5% copper added for stablity.
Wear Silpada!!!! Usually, only fake, costume jewelry will turn green. This is because it is made from copper instead of gold and the oils form you skin cause the copper to corrode. The green corrosion can stain your fingers or any other skin the metal is held against. So, short answer, get some real jewelry...
you can find rhodium in all types of jewelry

You can find horse jewelry at some jewelry stores, craft stores, and even thrift stores. If you live near a county or state fair you would be able to find horse jewelry there also.
Bring your jewelry to a jeweler or a store that sells jewelry and ask.
Expensive jewelry can be found at Tiffany's and Bloomingdales. Both of these stores offer expensive jewelry that contains either diamonds, gold, silver or pearls.
